In today’s world, it’s easy to feel alone—even in a crowd. Our culture often emphasizes self-reliance and independence, sometimes at the expense of meaningful connection. But what if there’s a different way to live? What if, instead of striving alone, we could experience a life transformed by relationships, community, and the power of encountering Jesus together? At Redeemer Church in Aurora, Colorado, we believe that coming together as a community opens the door to a powerful and transformative experience. Here are five reasons why gathering together in church matters and why it can change your life.
1. Grow Spiritually in a Community That Supports You
There’s something profoundly different about experiencing faith together rather than alone. At Redeemer, we don’t just attend a service; we participate in a journey. When we worship, listen to the Word, and pray as a community, we invite spiritual growth that’s deeper than anything we can achieve on our own. Being in a room filled with others who are also seeking Jesus brings encouragement and inspiration that can reignite our faith.
Every Sunday at 10:30 a.m., we gather with a shared purpose: to encounter Jesus, learn from His teachings, and support each other as we grow. It’s a journey of faith that we’re meant to experience together, not in isolation.
“For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” —Matthew 18:20 (NLT)
2. Find True Belonging and Build Lasting Connections
Church is more than a building or a Sunday routine—it’s a place to belong. In a world where loneliness is on the rise, Redeemer offers a welcoming community where everyone is seen, valued, and supported. Here, you’ll find people who care about you, who will walk alongside you through life’s ups and downs, and who genuinely want to see you thrive.
At Redeemer, we greet each other by name, share each other’s burdens, and celebrate life’s milestones together. Whether it’s your first time visiting or you’ve been with us for years, there’s a place for you here. We are more than friends; we’re family, and we believe in the importance of journeying together.
3. Make a Difference Through Service
Our faith isn’t just something we hold; it’s something we live out. At Redeemer, we believe in putting our faith into action by serving our community and each other. Whether it’s through volunteer opportunities, outreach programs, or simply lending a hand to a neighbor in need, we are committed to making a difference together.
Serving isn’t just about giving back; it’s about discovering purpose. When we come together to help others, we reflect Jesus’ heart for the world. Serving strengthens our faith, reminds us of our purpose, and allows us to live out the love of Christ in tangible ways. There is joy and fulfillment in coming together to serve, knowing that each act of kindness is a reflection of God’s love.
4. Encounter the Life-Giving Jesus of the Gospels
When we gather to worship, we don’t just hear stories about Jesus; we encounter the life-giving Jesus of the Gospels. Coming to church is about touching the power and love of Jesus firsthand—like touching lightning. When we meet Him, we will never be the same.
Jesus doesn’t just show us who He is; He reveals who we are. His presence awakens our true selves, helping us see our worth, our purpose, and our calling. He brings healing, hope, and direction that no one else can provide. Experiencing this in community makes it even more powerful. At Redeemer, we believe that gathering in person creates a space where we can encounter the fullness of Jesus’ love, compassion, and transforming power. This isn’t about religion or ritual; it’s about awakening to a life filled with light, love, and purpose.
5. Discover Peace and Strength for Your Life
Research has shown that people who regularly attend church often experience lower levels of stress, reduced anxiety, and even improved physical health. But it’s more than just psychological benefits—there’s a peace that comes from being in the presence of others who are seeking God, lifting up their burdens, and finding hope together.
